Computer Science II group project

[daguilar0123]

I am a student at Rockland Community College. My group in my Computer Science II class is creating a Sound media player, using Java. I am not a professional. I am still learning. So if anyone can help point me in the right direction, I need to learn how to integrate Spotify API with our sound media player so that we can play songs directly from Spotify. We will also play songs locally. According to ChatGPT, I will need to:

Step 1: Register Your Application

Step 2: Understand OAuth 2.0

Step 3: Explore the Spotify API

Step 4: Set Up the Java Environment for API Calls

Step 5: Implementing API Calls in Your Application

Step 6: Testing and Iteration

Step 7: UI/UX Integration

Example code for API Authorization:

// Example method to get an access token from Spotify
public String getAccessToken() {
String clientId = "your_client_id"; // Replace with your client ID
String clientSecret = "your_client_secret"; // Replace with your client secret
String encodedCredentials = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((clientId + ":" + client_secret).getBytes());

try {
URL url = new URL("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedCredentials);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os = connection.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8"));
writer.write("grant_type=client_credentials");
writer.flush();
writer.close();
os.close();

connection.connect();

// Check for successful response and parse it
if (connection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
// parse access token from the response
}

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null; // Return the access token or handle errors appropriately
}
